INTRODUCTION. 

The  idea,  still  prevalent  among  many  people, 
that  only  the  favored  jew  can  enjoy  the  pleasure 
and  edification  of  European  travel,  is  quite  a  mis- 
taken one.  Not  many  years  ago  a  trip  abroad 
was  a  supreme  luxury.  To  the  average  man  or 
woman  the  hope  of  seeing  Venice  ivas  little  more 
than  a  fanciful  dream.  We  spoke  of  the  "  Eternal 
City"  without  the  idea  that  tve  might  some  day 
look  upon  it  from  the  Summit  of  the  Janiculum 
Hill.  We  knew  of  Paris  as  the  Capital  of  the 
Cosmopolitan  World,  hut  a  stroll  on  the  boule- 
vards was  not  within  our  reach,  as  it  is  to-day.  For 
the  eager  demand  which  has  developed  among  all 
classes  of  our  citizens  for  a  chance  to  visit  the 
"Old  World'^  has  resulted  in  the  achievement  of 
conditions  that  now  allow  any  one  to  plan  for  a 
journey  to  Europe  as  easily  as  for  a  trip  to  Cali- 
fornia or  a  season  at  a  seaside  or  mountain  re- 
sort, and  with  possibilities  of  economies  in  ex- 
pense which  will  bring  the  cost  within  the  limits 
of  a  very  modest  income. 

The  American  people  are  exceptionally  able 
to  absorb  and  appreciate  what  they  find  in  foreign 
lands,  and  it  is  impossible  to  overestimate  the 
benefits  which  accrue  to  them  and  to  our  country 
from   the   familiar    association    with     European

scenes  and  life  gained  by  travel.  It  is  from  these 
sources  that  we  are  reaping  a  bountiful  harvest 
of  good  results  in  all  lines  of  progress  and  refine- 
ment. Our  business  men  bring  back  practical 
ideas  and  open  new  markets  for  our  industries. 
Teachers  find  new  inspiration  in  becoming  familiar 
tcith  scenes  that  were  merely  visionary  until  they 
wandered  through  them.  Artists  not  only  bring 
back  upon  their  carivases  their  expression  of  the 
lands  and  life  which  have  impressed  them,  but 
are  awakened  to  higher  ideals  by  the  atmosphere 
of  the  glorious  galleries  in  all  the  principal  Euro- 
pean cities.  Our  scientists  are  stimulated  by 
observing  the  wonderful  work  which  is  being 
done  in  all  the  great  universities,  and  gain  broader 
visions  from  the  comparison  of  our  conditions 
with  those  of  other  environments.  Social  condi- 
tions may  be  improi'ed  by  the  study  of  what  older 
countries  have  accomplished,  and  our  business 
institutions  may  benefit  from  some  infusion  of 
the  conservatism  which  is  an  essential  feature  of 
European  methods.  And  it  must  be  remembered 
that  all  these  forces  operate  to  a  greater  or  less  ex- 
tent upon  the  ordinary  individual  who  seeks  and 
finds  self-development  by  European  travel.  With 
intelligent  observation  he  returns  mentally  broad- 
ened and  deepened,  quickened  for  new  effort  and 
achievement,  and  ivith  a  store  of  rich  memories

from  which  he  will  draw  an  unfailing  dividend 
of  pleasure  to  the  end  of  life. 

When  it  is  suggested  that  Americans  take  too 
much  money  out  of  the  country  each  year  to  leave 
in  Europe,  it  is  well  to  remember  what  equivalent 
it  returns  to  us.  We  need  just  what  the  money 
buys, — a  knowledge  of  other  people  and  other 
methods,  a  broadening  of  thought,  the  experience 
of  seeing  how  the  ivorld  moves  and  what  keeps  it 
progressing,  and,  best  of  all,  a  realizing  sense  of 
how  great  our  own  new  country  is  in  its  lofty  ideas 
of  right  and  justice,  its  zeal  in  good  works,  and 
its  rare  prosperity  for  the  masses. 

Our  system  of  education  encourages  a  taste  for 
reading  which  develops  individual  culture,  so 
that  a  constant  preparation  for  travel — the  real 
school  of  culture — is  going  on.  It  is  well,  there- 
fore, that  every  aid  should  be  given  to  all  who  may 
contemplate  a  trip  abroad,  and  that  it  may  be  seen 
how  easily  such  a  journey  can  be  managed  with 
a  little  care.  It  is  my  aim  in  this  book  to  give 
some  practical  and  useful  hints  in  regard  to  foreign 
travel, — hints  that  I  hope  may  be  really  usefid, 
and  many  of  which  will  aim  to  supply  necessary 
information  not  found  in  any  of  the  many  guide- 
books which  compete  for  the  prospective  traveller's 
attention. 

In  essaying  to  give  helpful  information,  I  have

found  it  ncccssari/  to  specif j/  ivith  approval  certain 
transportation  companies,  foreign  agencies,  hotels, 
and  other  bnsiness  institutions.  These  have  been 
selected  from  my  personal  knowledge  of  their  re- 
liability gained  through  my  long  experience  in 
European  travel,  and  are  recommended  solely  for 
the  benefit  of  the  prospective  traveller.  In  no 
case  has  any  such  name  been  inserted  for  any 
pecuniary  consideration  either  to  myself  or  to 
the  publishers  of  this  book.

Chapter  I. 
HOW   TO   TRAVEL. 

To  travel  well  is  indeed  an  art,  and  yet  it  is 
one  that  may  be  easily  mastered.  It  is  only 
necessary  to  take  things  as  they  come,  to  put  one's 
self  in  touch  and  sympathy  with  all  people,  not 
to  expect  all  the  little  conveniences  of  home,  to 
appreciate  the  point  of  view  of  those  about  one, 
and  to  be  cheerful  under  all  circumstances. 

One  must  cultivate  the  ability  to  see  quickly, 
to  grasp  new  ideas  readily,  and  to  take  rapid  and 
truthful  impressions  from  what  is  seen.  As  good 
health  enters  largely  into  the  question  of  enjoy- 
ment in  travel,  care  should  be  taken  to  observe 
regular  hours  for  the  table,  to  eat  good  and  sub- 
stantial food,  and  to  pay  attention  to  what  one 
drinks. 

Alive  to  the  importance  of  pure  water,  all 
European  cities  utilize  the  best  supply  within  their 
reach.  There  is,  of  course,  in  rapid  travel  a  con- 
stant change  in  the  drinking  water,  and  this  dis- 
agrees with  some  persons.  The  light  acid  wines 
of  Europe  are  excellent,  and,  if  one  wishes  to  use 
only  a  little  wine  with  the  water,  the  bottle  is 
marked  with  the  owner's  name  and  replaced  on 
the  table  at  subsequent  meals.  At  all  the  first- 
class  hotels  special  spring  waters  are  used  for 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

the  tabic.  Very  good  mineral  waters  are  always 
to  be  obtained  at  hotels,  pensions,  or  restaurants, 
and  at  all  railway  stations  where  there  is  a  cafe  or 
dining-room.  Care  should  be  taken  in  regard  to 
drinking  too  freely  of  ice  water,  if  the  weather  is 
very  hot,  but  that  is  a  danger  well  understood  in 
our  own  country. 

Special  Preparatory  Study. 

However  much  unconscious  preparation  for 
travel  may  have  been  gained  by  general  reading, 
there  should  be  some  special  study  related  to 
the  itincraiy  decided  upon.  A  carefully  selected 
list  of  helpful  books  is  given  on  page  150,  and  the 
most  satisfactory  manner  in  wliich  to  take  up 
the  special  study  desired  w^ill  be  by  first  care- 
fully selecting  the  route  of  the  journey  and  look- 
ing up  the  points  of  interest  which  most  appeal 
to  one  in  each  place  to  be  i-isited.  Under  the 
headings  of  the  various  cities  and  towns  specified 
in  tliis  volume  (pp.  130  to  140)  will  be  found  tab- 
ulated lists  of  the  points  of  interest  in  each  place, 
arranged  in  such  order  as  to  be  most  easily  visited 
in  the  day's  travel. 

In  this  preliminary  study  a  note-book  is  an 
invaluable  aid.  In  it  the  name  of  each  place 
to  be  visited  should  be  written  at  the  top  of  a 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

page,  under  which  special  memoranda  regarding 
the  place  should  be  jotted  down  as  they  occur 
to  one  or  are  met  with  in  the  reading  of  news- 
papers, magazines,  or  books.  Do  not  neglect 
to  set  down  in  the  proper  place  any  brief  quota- 
tion which  may  help  in  fixing  an  idea  or  in  re- 
calling any  especially  notable  person  or  event. 
Several  blank  pages  should  be  left  after  the  pre- 
liminary notes  on  each  city,  to  be  filled  with  notes 
of  observations  made  during  the  journey,  thus 
making  the  book  valuable  for  after  reference. 

What  to  Take. 

A  great  deal  depends  upon  the  character  of 
the  journey.  In  arranging  an  outfit  for  the 
voyage  and  for  travel  abroad,  if  one  goes  by  an 
expensive  steamship  line  and  uses  the  highest- 
class  hotels,  ladies  will  require  an  elaborate 
wardrobe,  which  will  include  evening  gowns. 
Evening  dress  for  gentlemen  is  so  generally  the 
custom  in  all  European  cities  that  it  is  advisable 
for  a  man  to  keep  it  constantly  at  hand. 

Upon  the  first-class  lines  of  ships  all  persons 
dress  for  dinner,  and  more  attention  is  being 
paid  to  this  important  function  of  the  day  upon 
all  lines.  Good  taste  will  make  it  easy  to  de- 
cide when  a  simple  fresh  gown   for   a  woman 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

and  a  plain  dark  suit  for  a  man  will  be  suffi- 
cient for  dinner,  both  on  shipboard  and  on  the 
shore. 

Start  upon  the  journey  well  provided  with  all 
ihc  wardrobe  required,  as  it  takes  valuable  time 
in  Europe  to  find  what  is  satisfactory.  If  one 
wishes  a  reasonable  outfit  for  three  months  of 
travel,  the  following  hints  may  be  useful: — 

For  the  steamer  a  woman  should  have,  in  a 
large-sized  dress-suit  case,  a  cloth  suit  of  medium 
weight,  a  flannel  waist,  a  silk  waist,  and  two 
shirt-waists,  three  changes  of  underclothing  of 
such  weight  as  one  is  accustomed  to  wear  in 
the  autumn,  a  pair  of  woollen  tightS;  a  wool 
sweater,  a  hot-water  bottle,  and  a  cloth  or  silk 
bag  for  holding  books,  magazines,  or  fancy  work 
for  the  deck. 

In  addition  to  this  she  should  take  a  travelling- 
rug  or  heavy  shawl,  a  rain  coat,  a  soft  hat  of  felt 
or  wool,  a  pillow  for  the  deck  chair,  and  a  warm 
wrap.  A  hand-bag  should  contain  bath  slippers, 
rubbers,  sewing-bag,  and  toilet  articles,  includ- 
ing small  bottles  of  camphor  and  simple  cologne, 
which  are  sometimes  very  refreshing. 

For  the  steamer  a  man  should  have  in  a  large 
bag  a  suit  that  would  be  comfortable  in  the  au- 
tumn, a  heavy  overcoat,  cloth  cap,  rug,  pillow 
for  deck  chair,  and  two  sets  of  warm  under- 

4 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

clothes.  In  a  hand-bag  he  may  carry  shppers, 
toilet  articles,  including  a  bottle  of  camphor. 

In  specifying  these  articles,  I  have  endeavored 
to  suggest  everything  needed  for  reasonable  com- 
fort during  an  ocean  trip  of  from  seven  to  fifteen 
days.  Each  individual  can  easily  decide  whether 
to  eliminate  or  add  to  any  of  the  items. 

For  travel  after  reaching  Europe  a  woman 
should  have  a  medium-sized  steamer  trunk,  to 
hold  one  street  suit  in  addition  to  the  one  worn 
when  leaving  the  ship,  one  extra  skirt,  five  shirt- 
waists, two  silk  waists,  two  pretty  gowns  for  din- 
ner and  evening  wear,  four  changes  of  linen, 
evening  shoes,  extra  walking  shoes,  a  pair  of  boots, 
a  bath  robe,  a  box  fastened  in  one  corner  of  the 
trunk  for  an  extra  hat,  in  which  may  also  be 
placed  laces,  gloves,  handkerchiefs,  and  neck- 
wear. 

For  land  travel  for  gentlemen  a  small  steamer 
trunk  should  hold  an  extra  suit  for  the  street, 
a  plain  black  cutaway  or  frock  coat,  with  vest  and 
trousers,  a  dress  suit,  three  sets  of  underclothing, 
three  sets  of  pajamas,  and  a  bath  robe,  together 
with  socks,  collars,  cuffs,  and  shirts,  as  desired. 

There  is  no  difficulty  about  laundry  in  Europe, 
and,  while  it  is  done  in  some  countries  better  than 
in  others,  little  time  is  required  anywhere,  and 
the  cost  is  about  as  it  is  here. 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

If  one  wishes  to  make  an  inexpensive  trip, 
instead  of  using  the  steamer  trunk  for  travel  on 
shore,  so  phin  that  a  Hght-wcight  dress-suit  ease 
may  hold  enou<ijh  for  the  journey,  thus  reducing 
all  expense  for  the  transportation  of  baggage  by 
railway. 

When  a  steamer  trunk  is  used  in  travel,  it  is 
perfectly  convenient  to  have  it  always  with  one, 
but,  in  the  event  of  making  a  little  side-trip  for 
one  or  two  days,  the  hand-bag  for  the  toilet  arti- 
cles will  also  hold  night  clothing. 

Do  not  use  any  labels  or  tags  for  the  baggage 
that  will  send  it  to  the  ship's  hold  unless  there 
are  very  large  trunks.  Such  labels  are  either 
marked  "Hold"  or  "Not  Wanted."  On  trunks 
stowed  in  the  hold  there  is  apt  to  be  delay  at 
the  port  of  landing,  and  one  is  unable  to  get  at 
the  contents  during  the  voyage.  If  the  baggage 
is  marked  "  State-room "  or  "Wanted,"  it  will  be 
placed  in  the  state-room,  provided  it  is  not  too 
large  to  slide  under  the  lower  berth.  If  too 
large  for  the  state-room,  it  will  be  put  in  a  baggage- 
room,  where  it  can  at  any  time  be  opened. 

Storage  and  Transfer  of  Steamer  Baggage. 

The  baggage  with  the  outfit  for  the  steamer 
may    be    stored  with  the  company   of    the  line 

6 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

of  ships  by  which  one  sails.  It  also  can  be 
forwarded  to  another  port  and  held  for  the 
return. 

If  one  is  to  return  by  the  same  line  from  the 
same  port,  the  keys  need  not  be  left  with  it;  but, 
if  this  baggage  is  to  be  forwarded  to  another 
country,  the  keys  must  be  tagged  with  the  name, 
date,  steamship,  and  port,  exactly  in  duplicate 
of  the  tag  on  the  baggage,  and  left  with  the  purser 
of  the  ship. 

When  it  is  decided  on  what  ship  one  will  return, 
notice  must  be  sent  to  the  company  having  the 
baggage  in  charge,  telling  them  to  forv\'ard  it 
with  the  keys.  Always  state  that  keys  were  left 
and  tagged  like  the  baggage,  as  this  will  aid  the 
company  in  finding  both. 

State  plainly  the  ship,  line,  port,  and  date  of 
sailing  for  which  baggage  is  required,  and  write 
to  said  company  to  send  notification  of  its  arri- 
val, so  that  it  may  be  looked  up  if  there  is  un- 
necessary delay. 

If  one  is  to  return  by  the  same  line,  send  notice 
three  weeks  in  advance  to  have  it  put  on  board 
the  desired  ship,  and  ask  for  a  postal  reply  ac- 
knowledging the  receipt  of  the  order.  It  is  best 
to  follow  this  up  by  another  "reminder,"  in  the 
shape  of  a  postal,  a  few  days  before  the  sailing 
date.     The  purser  on  either  ship  line  will  have

Sea-sickness. 

It  is  difficult  to  lay  down  rules  in  regard  to  this 
disagreeable  affliction.  Some  persons  sufl'er  from 
it  in  spite  of  every  precaution,  and  others  who 
violate  all  laws  relative  to  it  go  entirely  free. 
There  can  be  no  doubt  that  much  of  it  is  brought 
on  by  anticipation  and  by  getting  the  stomach 
out  of  order  when  trying  to  prevent  it. 

For  a  few  days  before  sailing,  one  should  avoid 
sweets,  fats,  and  soups,  eating  easily  digested 
substantial  food.  Three  days  in  advance  of 
sailing  some  simple  laxative  should  be  taken  to 
cleanse  the  bowels  and  stimulate  the  liver. 

Some  persons  find  it  refreshing  to  have  a  little 
fruit  brought  by  the  stewardess  to  eat  before 
trying  to  dress  in  the  morning. 

The  main  tiling  is  to  get  on  deck  as  quickly 
as  possible,  not  attempting  an  elaborate  toilet, 
and  to  remain  in  the  steamer  chair  till  all  feeling 
of  dizziness  passes  off.  The  deck  steward  will 
serve  from  the  menu  whatever  seems  to  tempt  the 
appetite,  and  only  the  most  simple  food  should 
be  selected. 

If  really  ill,  take  bits  of  ice  (over  which  a  little 

8 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

brandy  may  be  poured),  oranges,  apples,  grapes, 
or  delicate  biscuits.  Keep  on  deck,  allow  the  wind 
to  blow  freely  on  the  face,  keep  warm  (using  the 
hot- water  bottle,  if  necessary),  and  the  attack 
should  soon  pass  away. 

As  soon  as  possible,  begin  to  walk  about  the 
deck  (to  get  your  sea  legs  on,  as  old  sailors 
say),  for  this  not  only  accustoms  one  to  the  mo- 
tion of  the  ship,  but  causes  the  blood  to  circulate 
freely  again. 

Money. 

American  money  may  be  used  on  all  ships  for 
fees,  care  being  taken  to  have  a  good  supply  of 
small  change.  Small  sums  of  American  money 
may  be  changed  on  shipboard  by  the  purser, 
but  it  is  a  good  idea  to  have  before  sailing  $10 
in  change  of  the  money  used  in  the  country  where 
one  is  to  land.  Money-changers  and  large  banks 
can  supply  this,  but,  if  one  is  unable  to  attend 
to  it  before  sailing,  he  may  rely  upon  the  purser 
of  the  ship. 

Those  who  are  to  buy  railway  tickets  upon 
arrival  at  a  port,  and  so  require  a  large  sum  of 
money,  should  take  some  English  bank-notes  of 
£5  each  ($25)  or  some  English  gold.  Get  tliis 
money  through  a  banker  or  Money  Exchange 
Office. 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

If  a  considerable  sum  of  money  is  to  be  used  on 
the  journey,  take  a  Letter  of  Credit,  through 
either  the  American  Express  Company  or  some 
prominent  bank  that  has  wide  connections  with 
bankers  abroad.  Messrs.  Brown,  Shipley  & 
Company  and  Messrs.  Baring  Brothers  are  two 
London  banking  houses,  with  correspondents  all 
over  Europe,  who  do  a  very  large  business  in  this 
line. 

It  is  a  great  inconvenience  to  have  a  Letter  of 
Credit  that  calls  for  the  drawing  of  money  through 
bankers  not  well  known  in  the  cities  of  Europe. 
Much  delay  is  often  caused  the  traveller  through 
the  inexperience  of  such  banking  houses  with 
the  business  methods  they  call  for. 

The  Letter  of  Credit  gives  one  the  advantage 
of  having  money  in  absolutely  safe  form.  More 
than  one  person  may  draw  upon  a  letter  of  credit 
if  so  arranged  at  the  time  of  purchase.  Two 
duplicate  signatures  are  demanded,  one  to  re- 
main with  the  home  banking  house  and  the  other 
to  be  sent  abroad  to  the  chief  bankers  through 
whom  business  will  be  done. 

A  full  list  of  bankers  in  Europe  where  money 
may  be  drawn  is  appended  to  the  letter  form, 
with  a  blank  page  where  the  sums  drawn,  the 
dates,  and  the  names  of  the  several  bankers  trans- 
acting the  business  are  carefully  filled  in.     The 

10 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

Letter  of  Credit  is  usually  given  in  pounds  ster- 
ling. 

A  Letter  of  Credit  is  not  issued  for  less  than 
.£100  ($500),  and  a  charge  of  1  per  cent,  is  made 
at  the  time  of  purchase.  Business  men  who  have 
deposits  with  banks  in  close  connection  with 
foreign  bankers  may  take  a  Letter  of  Credit  on  a 
Letter  of  Credit  account,  which  account  they  open 
by  setting  aside  such  a  sum  from  their  deposits 
as  will  cover  the  drafts  they  may  wish  to  draw, 
and  in  this  event  they  only  pay  a  commission  on 
the  actual  drafts,  thus  saving  the  charge  on  any 
balance  left  undrawn  in  the  Letter  of  Credit 
account. 

Upon  the  return  home  the  Letter  of  Credit 
is  presented  to  the  firm  that  issued  it,  and  any  sum 
still  due  is  refunded.  On  very  large  Letters  of 
Credit,  fully  paid,  running  for  some  months,  in- 
terest will  be  allowed  by  the  bankers  in  the 
United  States  who  receive  the  deposit. 

In  addition  to  the  Letter  of  Credit  it  is  well  to 
take  a  few  American  Express  Cheques  for  $10 
and  $20,  as  they  may  be  very  convenient  upon 
occasions  when  banking  houses  are  closed  on 
holidays. 

If  less  than  $500  will  be  needed  abroad,  take  all 
money  in  the  form  of  American  Express  Cheques 
for  $10  and  $20.     They  are  convenient  and  safe, 

11

and  may  be  cashed  in  hotels,  pensions,  money 
exchanges,  banking  houses,  and  many  shops. 
They  indicate  on  the  face  tlie  sums  for  which 
they  are  good  in  each  country.  It  must  be  noted, 
however,  that  there  is  sometimes  a  revenue  stamp 
demanded  that  reduces  by  a  few  cents  the  sum 
stated  as  due  on  the  cheque. 

American  bills  and  gold  are  easily  exchanged  at 
banks  and  money  exchanges  and  at  the  regular 
rates  of  exchange  for  the  day  they  are  presented, 
but,  if  they  are  lost,  there  is  nothing  to  be  done, 
while  the  American  Express  Company  will  re- 
issue cheques  upon  proof  that  they  are  lost.  A 
very  careful  system  of  numbering  and  keeping 
records  of  every  cheque,  and  a  strict  watch  for 
forgery,  allows  the  company  to  fully  protect  its 
patrons. 

When  the  cheques  are  purchased,  the  signature 
is  written  in  the  upper  left-hand  space,  and  each 
cheque  has  to  be  so  signed  in  presence  of  a  com- 
pany or  agent.  Nothing  more  is  done  to  them 
till  they  are  cashed,  when  the  date,  and  the  name 
of  person,  firm,  or  hotel  to  whom  they  are  pay- 
able, are  filled  in,  and  then  in  the  left-hand 
low^er  space  the  name  is  again  signed,  and  it 
must  exactly  correspond  with  the  upper  signa- 
ture. Unused  cheques  may  be  redeemed  upon 
the  return  home.

Thomas  Cook  &  Son  issue  circular  notes  for 
£5,  £10,  and  £20  each  ($25,  $50,  and  $100),  and 
the  charge  is  al  the  rate  of  50  cents  for  $100.  It 
is  necessary  to  have  with  these  a  Letter  of  Iden- 
tification, so  that,  when  cashing  them,  the  sig- 
nature may  be  compared.  Notes  unused  will  be 
redeemed,  upon  the  return  home,  at  any  office  of 
the  company. 

Mail. 

If  one  is  not  certain  as  to  the  hotel  or  pension 
addresses  for  the  European  journey,  the  bankers 
through  whom  Letters  of  Credit  are  taken  will 
receive  and  forward  (upon  request)  all  mail  and 
telegrams. 

The  American  Express  Company  through  all 
their  offices  will  also  accommodate  their  patrons 
in  this  respect,  and  so  will  the  house  of  Thomas 
Cook  &  Son. 

If  one  wishes  a  letter  sent  directly  to  a  town 
or  city,  so  that  it  may  be  obtained  at  the  post- 
ofiice,  write  plainly  the  name,  town  or  city,  and 
country,  and  in  the  left  lower  corner  Poste 
Restante.  In  calling  at  the  post-office,  present 
a  visiting  card  (or  the  name  plainly  written)  at 
the  necessary  window,  and  there  will  be  no  diffi- 
culty in  obtaining  the  mail.

Passports. 

Passports  are  not  necessary  except  in  the  East 
and  in  Russia,  but,  if  persons  are  abroad  on  their 
own  responsibiUty,  it  is  well  to  have  one.  Apply 
to  the  Passport  Bureau,  Washington,  D.C., 
for  a  blank  form,  which  will  be  at  once  forwarded. 
Fill  this  in  and  sign  before  a  notary  public,  en- 
close $1,  and  return  to  Washington.  The  pass- 
port will  be  sent  promptly.  Only  one  passport 
is  necessary  for  a  man  and  his  wife.  Passports 
for  Russia  must  have  the  visa  of  the  diplomatic 
or  consular  office  of  Russia  as  well  as  that  of 
one's  own  country.

Chapter  II. 
STEAMSHIP  LINES  AND  THE  VOYAGE. 

Engage  berths  a.s  soon  as  possible  after  the 
journey  is  settled  upon,  as  the  demand  for  ac- 
commodations constantly  increases,  and  early 
application  is  particularly  important  for  berths 
in  the  late  spring  and  early  summer  saihngs. 
If  possible,  engage  berths  for  return  passage  at 
the  same  time,  especially  if  they  are  required 
for  the  last  of  August  or  the  early  weeks  of  Sep- 
tember. Most  steamship  companies  allow  a 
discount  of  10  per  cent,  from  the  price  of  the 
return  trip,  if  passage  on  the  same  line  is  en- 
gaged at  the  same  time  with  the  outward 
passage. 

A  good  traveller  will  not  place  too  much  im- 
portance upon  the  situation  of  a  state-room,  as 
they  are  all  arranged  for  the  comfort  of  passengers, 
and  one  spends  little  time  there.  A  detailed 
plan  of  a  ship,  with  full  price  list  of  state-rooms, 
"svill  be  mailed  by  any  company  upon  request, 
and  prompt  attention  will  be  paid  to  letters  of 
inquiry. 

A  deposit  of  $25  holds  the  berth  until  three 
weeks  before  the  date  of  sailing,  when  the  bal- 
ance of  the  passage  money  must  be  paid.  At 
the  time  of  purchasing  the  ticket  engage  a  steamer 

IG 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

chair  for  the  voyage,  the  use  of  which  costs  $1, 
payable  in  advance. 

A  receipt  is  issued  for  the  deposit  of  $25 ;  and, 
when  the  rest  of  the  passage  money  is  paid, 
this  receipt  must  be  sent  with  the  remittance. 
The  ticket  is  then  issued;  and,  if  a  round  trip  is 
purchased,  either  the  return  ticket  is  sent  or  an 
order  for  a  return  passage,  if  one  has  been  un- 
able to  decide  upon  a  special  ship  and  date. 
The  receipt  for  the  steamer  chair,  which  is  issued 
as  payment,  is  to  be  handed,  upon  the  day  of 
sailing,  to  the  deck  steward,  who  will  provide 
the  chair. 

If  one  is  obliged  to  give  up  a  reserved  passage, 
the  deposit  of  $25  will  be  returned,  upon  request, 
up  to  three  weeks  before  sailing.  After  this  date 
it  becomes  subject  to  the  rule  of  the  steamship 
companies,  that  reserved  bertlis  must  be  sold 
again  by  them  before  deposits  are  returned. 

Returning  berths  may  be  engaged  by  deposit- 
ing $25  per  berth,  for  which  a  receipt  is  given. 
The  order  that  is  issued  for  a  return  passage 
calls  for  a  berth  at  a  stated  price,  and  is  available 
on  any  of  the  more  important  lines,  these  being 
indicated  upon  the  face  of  the  order.  Upon 
presentation  at  the  office  of  any  of  these  lines 
a  ticket  will  be  issued  at  the  price  it  commands. 

If  one  is  in  Europe  when  writing  for  a  return

berth,  address  the  chief  office  of  the  desired  line 
in  London,  Paris,  Antwerp,  Rotterdam,  Bremen, 
Hamburg,  Genoa,  Naples,  or  Trieste,  as  the 
case  may  be,  and  say  that  a  return  order  from 
such  and  such  a  line  is  held,  stating  the  price  it 
calls  for,  and  asking  if  there  is  the  desired  ac- 
commodation and  for  a  plan  of  the  ship. 

When  informed  by  letter  that  a  certain  berth, 
or  room,  is  available,  at  once  accept  it  or  de- 
cline it.  If  it  is  accepted,  send  the  return  order 
and  register  it,  with  instructions  as  to  what  shall 
be  done  about  the  ticket.  If  it  is  to  be  forwarded, 
order  it  registered,  and  allow  plenty  of  time  for 
its  transmission.  If  it  is  convenient  in  connec- 
tion with  the  journey,  it  is  best  to  have  the  com- 
pany hold  the  ticket  at  the  office  till  called  for 
personally.

EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

Second-class  Berths. 

The  low  rates  on  some  lines  indicate  that  cer- 
tain ships  carry  only  one  class  of  passengers, — 
second-class.  These  passengers,  however,  have 
all  the  advantages  of  first-class. 

Time  and  expense  may  be  saved  by  using 
second-class  berths  on  the  large  and  fast  steam- 
ships. Prices  will  be  sent  upon  application  to 
any  line.  The  accommodations  supplied  by  these 
steamers  are  in  every  way  comfortable.  The 
rooms  are  clean  and  well  ventilated.  The  sec- 
ond-class table  is  good, — far  better  than  is  to  be 
found  in  most  summer  hotels. 


Baggage. 

When  steamship  tickets  arc  issued,  a  full  set 
of  labels  and  tags  are  furnished  the  passenger 
for  baggage. 

As  already  suggested,  do  not  use  those  that 
say  "Not  Wanted,"  as  baggage  thus  marked 
will  go  to  the  hold.  Fill  in  the  name  and  re- 
cjuired  data  on  the  labels,  and  paste  them  on 
trunks  and  suit-cases.  Write  plainly  on  the  tags, 
according  to  directions,  and  tie  these  to  each  end 
of  the  trunks,  to  the  suit-cases,  and  to  the  hold- 
alls. 

26 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

Some  companies  send  a  label  with  one  large 
letter  which  is  the  initial  of  the  name  of  the  pas- 
senger, and  this  is  to  be  pasted  on  the  baggage 
to  aid  in  finding  it  at  the  port  where  customs 
examinations  take  place.  If  this  is  not  given 
with  other  tags,  it  means  that  such  are  not  used 
on  that  particular  line  or  that  the  state-room 
stewards  will  put  them  on  the  baggage  before 
landing. 

Careful  record  is  kept  of  all  baggage  received 
on  the  dock,  sent  by  express;  and  near  the  gang- 
way will  be  found  the  baggage-master,  who  will 
answer  any  questions  relative  to  trunks  and  other 
pieces  of  baggage. 

If  baggage  has  been  sent  by  express,  care  should 
be  taken  to  have  it  arrive  the  afternoon  before 
the  ship  sails;  and  the  baggage-master  should 
be  asked  by  telephone,  late  that  afternoon,  if  he 
has  received  it.  Before  going  on  board,  ask  if 
it  has  been  put  on  the  ship. 

If  the  baggage  goes  with  one  to  the  ship,  by 
carriage,  stewards  at  once  take  it  on  board. 
Oftentimes  this  baggage  will  not  be  put  in  the 
state-room  until  after  the  ship  has  sailed,  but 
there  need  be  no  anxiety  in  regard  to  it,  ij  it  is 
on  board.

EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

Shipboard  Notes. 

If  friends  are  to  go  to  the  steamer  to  see  one 
sail,  care  should  be  taken  to  arrange  for  some 
special  point  of  rendezvous,  as  in  the  confusion 
of  a  crowd  it  is  difficult  to  find  individuals.  The 
number  of  the  state-room  should  also  be  given 
to  friends. 

Arrange  to  be  on  board  two  hours  before  the 
ship  sails,  so  that  details  for  the  voyage  may  be 
attended  to  and  time  allowed  to  bid  adieu  to 
friends. 

Do  not  try  to  settle  things  in  the  state-room 
before  sailing,  but  ring  the  bell  for  the  steward, 
and  decide  upon  the  hour  for  the  bath,  and  if  it 
is  to  be  hot  or  cold. 

Next  go  to  the  dining  saloon,  and  arrange  for  a 
seat  or  seats  at  table.  The  second  steward  is 
usually  in  charge  of  this.  One  may  consult  a 
plan  of  the  tables  and  see  personally  if  a  seat  will 
be  pleasant,  and  then,  having  decided,  a  small 
card  with  the  table  number  will  be  given  one. 
At  the  first  meal  it  is  not  usual  to  use  these  seats, 
passengers  sitting  wherever  they  wish.  If  it  is 
a  first  voyage,  it  would  be  well  to  select  a  seat 
near  the  door,  so  that  it  will  be  easy  to  escape — if 
necessary. 

The  bath  and  the  table  being  arranged  for, 

28 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

find  the  deck  steward,  show  him  the  receipt  for 
the  steamer  chair,  and  select  a  place  for  it  that 
seems  attractive.  Aid  his  memory  in  recollect- 
ing the  desired  spot  for  the  chair  by  a  small  fee 
of  25  cents. 

There  now  only  remains  the  pleasant  duty  of 
looking  for  mail,  telegrams,  and  flowers  (which 
will  be  found  in  the  dining  saloon)  and  of  re- 
ceiving the  "bon  voyage"  visits  of  friends.  Last 
words  for  shore  or  any  forgotten  message  may  be 
sent  by  post  through  the  pilot  boat,  which  usually 
leaves  the  ship  about  an  hour  after  sailing  from 
either  Boston  or  New  York.  If  one  wishes  to 
write  letters  for  transmission  in  tliis  way,  it  is 
best  to  inquire  of  the  library  steward,  to  ascertain 
the  exact  amount  of  time  in  hand  for  this  purpose. 

Shortly  after  the  ship  sails,  go  to  the  state- 
room and  unpack  the  steamer  clothes  and  wraps, 
and  arrange  the  small  belongings  for  comfort 
and  with  regard  to  the  convenience  of  the  state- 
room companion.  If  the  state-room  companion 
is  a  friend,  it  is  a  simple  matter  to  divide  the  room, 
but,  if  a  stranger,  care  should  be  taken  to  be  un- 
selfish and  only  take  what  belongs  by  courtesy 
to  one  person.  The  berths,  of  course,  are  speci- 
fied upon  one's  tickets,  so  that  no  difficulty  can 
arise  from  this  source.  Use  every  effort  to  be 
agreeable  and  patient,  and  to  overlook  any  little 

29 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

personalities  that  arc  not  pleasant.  The  voyage 
only  lasts  a  few  days,  and,  with  a  little  care,  cheer- 
ful and  kindly  relations  will  make  the  time  pass 
quickly.  No  two  persons  can  hope  to  escape 
altogether  the  ordeal  of  mutual  criticism.  Spend 
all  the  time  possible  on  deck,  take  long  walks, 
and  enjoy  the  various  games,  such  as  shuffle- 
board,  quoits,  etc.,  that  give  necessary  exercise. 
The  ship  libraries  have  a  good  collection  of  books; 
and  a  steward  in  charge  keeps  a  record  of  each 
book  you  take  out,  and  will  put  any  special  one 
aside  for  you  upon  request.  This  steward  has 
charge  of  the  writing-desks,  and  will  furnish 
paper  and  envelopes  at  any  time,  and  he  also 
sells  pretty  postal  cards  and  postage  stamps. 

The  barber  usually  has  quite  an  attractive 
store  of  trinkets  for  sale,  and  can  often  give  a 
satisfactory  shampoo  for  women.  Boots  put 
outside  the  door  at  night  will  be  carefully  polished. 

Wines,  beer,  and  mineral  waters  are  ordered 
by  a  card  signed  with  the  name,  and  these  ac- 
counts are  presented  for  payment  at  the  end  of 
the  voyage. 

Shipboard  Entertainments. 

On  nearly  all  lines  a  varied  entertainment  is 
given  by  the  passengers  on  an  evening  near  the 

30 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

end  of  the  voyage.  The  proceeds  are  divided 
among  certain  institutions  at  home  and  abroad, 
where  the  widows  and  orphans  of  sailors  are 
cared  for.  If  one  has  any  gifts  or  accomplish- 
ments that  will  add  to  the  success  of  the  enter- 
tainment, they  should  be  cheerfully  offered. 
Courtesy  will  demand  that  there  should  be  no 
criticism. 

A  collection  is  taken,  and  programmes  that 
are  printed  on  board  and  that  make  pleasant 
souvenirs  are  sold.  No  fixed  sum  is  charged, 
but  25  cents  is  the  usual  price.  At  the  end  of  the 
performance  the  sum  realized  is  announced. 

What  is  called  the  "Captain's  Dinner"  is 
given  on  the  German  lines  near  the  end  of  the 
voyage.  There  is  much  ceremony,  the  dining 
saloon  is  decorated  with  flags,  and  the  captain 
presides, — if  the  weather  allows  him  to  be  pres- 
ent,— and  often  makes  a  speech. 

Fees. 

The  necessary  fees  on  shipboard  are  not  to 
be  absolutely  defined.  Much  depends  upon  the 
service  demanded  and  upon  the  class  of  the  ship. 
On  the  great  liners  where  particularly  careful 
service  is  given,  and  where  high  prices  are  paid 
for  berths,  the  fees    are  necessarily  large.     On 

31 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

ordinary  ships,  with  no  extra  service,  the  follow- 
ing fees  are  reasonable:  table  steward,  $2.50; 
state-room  steward,  $2.50;  deck  steward,  $1; 
stewardess,  $1  (unless  she  has  given  special  care 
to  one,  when  the  fee  should  be  increased).  Bath 
steward,  about  25  cents  for  each  attendance. 
There  yet  remain  the  library  steward,  who  also 
has  charge  of  the  writing-room,  and  the  deck  boy, 
who  picks  up  rugs,  pillows,  and  books,  moves 
chairs,  and  offers  other  pleasant  services.  To 
these  one  ought  to  give  at  least  50  cents  each. 

Doctor. 

The  services  of  the  ship-doctor  are  given  with- 
out fee  to  passengers  who  are  merely  sea-sick. 
If  called  upon  to  prescribe  for  other  illness,  he 
should  receive  the  usual  fee  paid  on  shore  for 
such  service. 

Hints. 

All  fees  are  paid  at  the  end  of  the  voyage. 

The  state-room  steward  attends  to  the  state- 
room baggage,  and  will  show  the  passenger  where 
it  is  located  upon  the  dock  when  landing. 

The  deck  steward  attends  entirely  to  all  rugs 
and  pillows,  and,  if  they  are  damp,  hangs  them 
where  they  will  dry. 

32 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

The  library  steward  has  postage  stamps  and 
picture  postal  cards  for  sale.  He  will  take  charge 
of  letters  and  arrange  for  the  telegrams,  A 
mail  box  is  provided  for  letters. 

All  important  notices  for  passengers  are  posted 
in  the  companionway  that  leads  to  the  dining 
saloon.  Here,  also,  are  posted  notices  of  articles 
found,  and  those  that  are  lost.

Chapter  III. 
THE    ARRIVAL    IN    EUROPE. 

At  the  port  where  one  disembarks,  and  also 
at  every  frontier  crossed  in  travel,  all  baggage  is 
examined. 

This  examination  is  not  strict  for  the  foreign 
visitor.  Officials  are  always  courteous  and 
careful,  and  should  be  treated  with  polite  def- 
erence. We  visit  their  countries  to  enjoy  the 
benefits  of  their  civilization  and  to  put  ourselves 
under  their  protection.  The  least  we  can  do  is 
to  respect  the  laws  which  these  officers  repre- 
sent. 

One  general  rule  applies  for  all  points  where 
there  will  be  examinations.  Do  not  have  much 
tobacco  or  many  cigars,  no  full  bottles  of  spirits 
or  wine,  no  full  bottles  of  Florida  water  or 
cologne,  no  full  packages  of  tea,  no  full  boxes 
of  soap,  and  in  England  do  not  have  any  Ameri- 
can or  foreign  editions  of  copyrighted  English 
books  or  music. 

After  landing,  pass  into  the  baggage-room  on 
the  dock,  where  the  customs  officers  will  be  found. 
On  many  of  the  steamship  piers  large  letters  are 
posted  on  the  walls  of  the  examination-room, 
these  being  the  initials  of  the  passengers'  names. 
Baggage  will  usually  be  found  under  the  proper 

34 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

letter.  The  stewards,  however,  will  indicate 
to  passengers  where  the  baggage  has  been  placed. 

Never  offer  a  fee  to  a  customs  official  at  any 
landing  port  or  at  any  frontier. 

Porters  are  at  hand  to  assist  travellers.  When 
all  the  baggage  has  been  located,  have  one  of 
these  porters  get  it  together,  and  ask  a  customs 
officer  to  examine  it.     Open  your  baggage  freely. 

The  officer  marks  each  piece  with  chalk, 
which  passes  it  by  the  official  at  the  door.  The 
porter  places  all  your  baggage  (called  luggage)  *  on 
a  truck,  and  follows  your  directions  as  to  where 
it  shall  go, — to  carriage,  omnibus,  or  train.  Ac- 
company this  porter,  pay  him,  and  discharge 
him,  his  duty  ended. 

The  correct  fee  for  a  porter  is  threepence  (6 
cents)  for  each  piece  of  baggage,  the  same 
relative  sum  in  each  country  for  the  same  service. 

The  traveller  may  always  feel  safe  in  leaving 
baggage  in  care  of  a  regular  uniformed  porter 
at  either  steamship  wharves  or  railway  stations, 
but  a  note  should  always  be  made  of  the  porter's 
official  number,  which  will  be  plainly  displayed 
upon  his  cap.     The  companies  are  all  very  strict  in 

*  It  is  very  advisable  to  learn  at  the  outset  of  travelling  to 
call  things  by  the  names  commonly  used  in  the  country.  Thus 
in  England  "baggage"  is  called  "luggage,"  a  railway  ticket 
office  is  called  a  "booking  office,"  an  elevator  is  a  "lift," 
etc. 

35 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

insisting  upon  efficiency  and  honesty  among  their 
employees.  One  should  always  avoid,  so  far  as 
possible,  employing  any  of  the  non-official  port- 
ers, of  whom  there  are  usually  a  number  avail- 
able; and,  if  it  becomes  necessary  to  use  one  of 
these  in  transporting  baggage,  he  should  be 
kept  under  close  watch  during  the  service. 

Railway  Aids  and  Cook's  Men. 

Men  representing  railway  lines,  and  always 
in  uniform,  are  at  the  dock  and  in  the  customs- 
room,  to  ofiFer  any  information  or  aid  to  the 
traveller.  Cook's  men  are  also  there,  and  these 
last  are  to  be  found  at  railway  stations  in  all 
large  cities. 

These  representatives  of  the  railroads  and 
Cook  Tourist  Company  speak  English,  and  offer 
careful  and  intelligent  service  on  application, 
for  which  they  should  receive  a  tip  of  not  less  than 
25  cents,  or  its  equivalent. 

The  railway  representatives  will  give  full  in- 
formation about  trains  and  routes  and  attend 
to  baggage. 

Baggage  Transportation. 

Passengers  landing  in  England  may  forward 
their  baggage  to  destination  in  London  by  paying 

36 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

6d.  (12  cents)  for  each  piece.  This  baggage 
must  be  carefully  addressed,  with  name,  hotel, 
or  residence. 

A  label  is  tied  or  pasted  on  each  piece,  and 
half  of  each  label  is  given  to  the  passenger,  by 
which  he  claims  his  baggage  at  the  termination  of 
the  journey. 

Where  the  London  address  has  not  been  de- 
cided upon  in  advance,  baggage  may  be  sent  to 
the  "cloak-room"  of  any  station.  A  charge  for 
this  service  of  twopence  (4  cents)  a  day  is  made 
for  two  days:  for  a  longer  time,  threepence  (G 
cents)  a  day  is  charged. 

For  baggage  within  the  limit  outlined  in  the 
schedule  on  page  39  there  will  be  no  charge  for 
weight  in  Great  Britain.  The  railroad  ticket 
includes  its  transportation. 

If  the  baggage  goes  along  by  the  same  train 
with  the  passenger  to  London,  immediately  upon 
arrival  call  a  porter,  go  where  the  baggage  is 
deposited  upon  the  railway  platform,  find  your 
property,  and  have  the  porter  take  it  to  a  cab. 
Porter's  tip  should  be  threepence  (6  cents)  for 
each  large  piece  and  twopence  (4  cents)  for  each 
small  piece. 

In  leaving  London  or  any  railway  station  in 
Great  Britain,  a  porter  will  take  baggage  from 
the  carriage  or    omnibus    upon    arrival.     It  is 

37 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

then  weighed,  and,  as  the  coupon  check  system 
only  applies  to  boat  trains  in  Great  IJritain,  the 
luggage  is  labelled  for  the  destination  desired 
by  pasting  upon  it  a  printed  slip  bearing  the  name 
of  the  place,  after  which  it  is  placed  in  a  baggage 
car. 

A  passenger  must  always  have  a  certain  over- 
sight of  his  baggage  in  England,  as  it  is  handled 
by  the  label  system ,  and  not  the  check  system.  On 
the  Continent,  where  it  is  registered,  the  registra- 
tion is  practically  a  check. 

Registered  Baggage. 

When  leaving  England  for  the  Continent  and 
at  all  Continental  railway  stations,  tickets  must 
be  shown  wdien  registering  baggage.  Porters 
take  baggage  from  carriage  or  omnibus,  and 
deposit  it  at  the  proper  section.  Other  porters 
within  the  section  weigh  it,  and  report  the  result 
to  an  official  in  charge,  to  whom  the  tickets  should 
be  handed  through  a  small  window.  The  porters 
also  give  a  number  to  the  official;  and,  after 
figuring  the  sum  due  on  a  small  detailed  slip, 
he  adds  this  special  number  to  the  slip,  with  the 
number  of  pieces,  the  weight,  and  the  amount 
paid. 

This  is  the  registration  receipt,  and  corresponds 

38 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

with  our  check  system.  The  number  on  the  re- 
ceipt corresponds  to  the  number  that  is  pasted 
by  the  porters  on  each  piece  of  baggage.  When 
presenting  the  receipt  at  the  end  of  the  journey, 
the  baggage  is  identified  by  the  number. 

Give  the  porters  a  fee  that  will  be  the  value 
of  10  cents  in  American  money  for  each  piece  of 
registered  baggage.  All  money  paid  station 
porters  is  collected  by  one  of  their  number,  and 
divided  equally. 

Baggage  Notes. 
THE  BRITISH  ISLES. 

In  England,  Ireland,  and  Scotland  a  first-class 
railway  ticket  allows  120  pounds  of  baggage 
free;  a  second-class  ticket,  100  pounds  free. 
It  is  impossible  to  give  exact  notes  for  over- 
weight, as  the  charges  are  made  on  a  system  of 
distances  and  on  the  basis  of  hundred-weight. 

THE  CONTINENTAL  WEIGHTS  AND  DISTANCES. 

On  the  Continent  all  weights  are  reckoned  in 
kilograms,  all  distances  in  kilometers. 

1  kilogram  equals  2|  (2.20462)  pounds. 

1  kilometer  is  equal  to  f  (0.62137)  of  a  mile. 

Each  country  has  its  own  system  in  dealing 
with  baggage. 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

HOLLAND. 

In  Holland  no  free  baggage  is  allowed,  but 
between  Holland  and  most  other  countries  25 
kilograms   (55  pounds)  are  carried  free. 

The  rates  for  baggage  in  Holland  are  as  fol- 
lows : — 

For  a  distance  of  20  kilometers  (12.43  miles),  5  cents  (2  cents 

U.S.)  for  every  10  kilof,'rams  (22  lbs.). 
For  a  distance  of  50  kilometers  (31.07  miles),  10  cents  (4  cents

For  a  distance  of  200  kilometers  (124J  miles),  25  cents  (10 

cents  U.S.)  for  every  10  kilograms  (22  lbs.) . 

BELGIUM. 

In  Belgium  there  is  no  free  allowance  of  bag- 
gage: rate  of  charge,  Ij  centimes  (J  cent)  per 
kilometer  (0.62137  miles)  for  every  25  kilograms 
(55  pounds). 

FRANCE. 

In  France  30  kilograms  (66  pounds)  of  bag- 
gage are  allowed  free.  The  rate  for  excess 
baggage  varies,  so  that  it  is  impossible  to  quote 
it   here. 

SWITZERL.\ND. 

In  Switzerland  there  is  no  free  baggage;  but, 
owing  to  the  rate  changing  according  to  the  class 
of  trains,  it  is  not  practical  to  give  it.

EUROPEAN     GUIDE 
ITALY. 

The  charge  for  baggage  in  Italy  is  about  4^ 
centesimi  for  100  kilograms  per  kilometer, 
with  a  small  tax  for  registration.  For  example, 
it  would  cost  L.  9.30  ($1.86)  for  100  kilos  of  bag- 
gage (220  pounds)  carried  200  kilometers  (124 
miles). 

AUSTRIA-HUNGARY . 

In  Austria-Hungary  the  allowance  of  free  bag- 
gage varies  from  20  pounds  to  50  pounds. 

GERMANY. 

In  Southern  Germany  there  is  no  free  baggage : 
from  10  kilograms  (22  pounds)  to  25  kilograms 
(55  pounds)  of  baggage  are  allowed  free  in  other 
parts  of  Germany. 

SPAIN. 

In  Spain  30  kilograms  (66  pounds)  of  baggage 
are  allowed  free. 

The  Question  of  Fees. 

Many  Americans  object  to  the  custom  of  fees 
and  tips  in  European  travel.  This  is  one  of  the 
things  to  which  we  must  adapt  ourselves.     If  it 

41 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

is  faced  fairly  and  counted  as  part  of  the  cost 
of  the  journey,  its  unpleasant  features  will  be 
lessened. 

We  are  not  free  from  the  habit  of  tippinoj  in  our 
own  country,  and  we  overdo  it  here.  Our  ser- 
vants are  generously  paid,  while  abroad  their 
wages  are  so  small  that  they  are  obliged  to  de- 
pend upon  what  they  get   in  this  way. 

In  hotels  and  pensions  a  good  rule  by  which 
to  regulate  tips  and  fees  is  to  set  aside  a  sum 
equal  to  10  per  cent,  of  the  bill,  and  divide  this 
among  the  servants,  adding  something  extra 
for  the  concierge  (in  England  the  hall  porter) 
at  hotels. 

The  concierge  is  the  man  who  answers  every 
question  that  may  be  asked;  who  is  always  at 
hand  to  help  with  valuable  advice  as  to  sight- 
seeing, shops,  or  drives;  who  looks  after  letters, 
sends  telegrams,  and  gives  valuable  service  of 
every  sort. 

His  office  is  at  the  entrance  of  the  hotel,  and  it 
is  a  pleasure  to  show  him,  by  a  tip,  that  his  efforts 
have  been  appreciated. 

The  servants  to  be  remembered  are  the  w  alters, 
chambermaids,  porters,  elevator  boys,  and  the 
"boots"  (the  man  who  polishes  the  shoes). 

At  pensions  the  fees  are  much  less  than  at 
hotels.     The  servants    are  fewer,   and  the  ser- 

42 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

vice  is  more  direct  and  limited.  The  same  rule, 
to  distribute  10  per  cent,  of  the  amount  of  the 
bill,  may  be  followed  here. 

The  Route. 

In  arranging  a  route  for  European  travel,  have 
it  practical.  Do  not  retrace  any  steps,  and  see 
that  the  ground  is  well  covered. 

The  distances  between  desirable  points  in  our 
country  are  so  great  we  forget  how  short  they 
are  in  Europe.  We  forget,  too,  that  almost  every 
spot  of  ground  is  notable.  This  gives  an  inclina- 
tion to  loiter,  so  that  one  needs  a  strict  plan  for 
travel,  otherwise  too  much  time  may  be  consumed 
with  small  detail. 

Cover  all  the  places  possible  in  a  journey,  but 
plan  for  sufficient  time  to  see  them  properly  and 
to  get  a  correct  impression  of  them.  Do  not  fear 
that  these  impressions  and  ideas  may  be  a  jumble 
when  the  journey  is  ended.  One  of  the  pleasant 
results  of  travel  is  the  knowledge  one  gets  of  the 
power  of  the  mind  in  observation  and  memory. 

How  to  'plan  a  Tour. 

To  plan  a  tour,  first  decide  upon  a  route. 
Next  send  for  desired  plans  and  price  lists  to  any 

43 


EURO  r  E  A  N    (;  U  I  D  E 

steamship  company.  Having  engaged  berths  at 
a  given  price,  add  to  this  the  cost  of  the  railway 
tickets.  Decide  about  what  hotel  or  pension 
rate  to  pay.  Add  $1  a  day  for  sight-seeing  and 
the  other  expenses  on  the  basis  I  have  indicated 
in  the  "Detailed  Cost,"  page  48.  In  this  way 
a  reasonable  idea  maybe  obtained  of  the  expenses 
of  a  trip  abroad. 

The  cost  will  be  lessened  or  increased  accord- 
ing to  the  hotels  or  pensions  selected.  First-class 
tickets  and  tickets  by  the  trains  de  luxe  will  add 
materially  to  the  cost  of  travel. 

Expenses. 

With  great  care  the  expenses  for  travel  in 
Europe  may  be  kept  down  to  $5  a  day,  this 
to  include  railway  fare,  board,  and  sight- 
seeing. Increased  price  means  more  comfort 
and  luxury. 

For  $10  a  day  one  may  travel  first-class  by 
boats  and  trains,  stay  at  the  best  hotels,  and  use 
carriages  freely  for  sight-seeing. 

Hotels  and  Pensions. 

Travellers  will  find  no  difficulty  in  making 
satisfactory  arrangements  in  Great    Britain  and 

44 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

on  the  Continent  for  reasonable  accommodations. 
Jn  Ireland  the  best  hotels  must  be  used.  In  Scot- 
land the  prices  are  high  in  the  best  hotels,  but 
there  are  excellent  medium-priced  hotels  and 
what  are  called  "Temperance  Houses"  that  are 
satisfactory. 

In  England  every  possible  accommodation  is 
available.  In  London,  aside  from  the  hotels  and 
excellent  boarding-houses,  the  visitor  may  "go 
into  lodgings"  in  some  central  position.  Break- 
fast will  be  given  if  desired,  and  other  meals  may 
be  taken  wherever  convenient  in  the  round  of 
sight-seeing  and  shopping. 

Hotels  of  high  grade  will  furnish  rooms,  light, 
attendance,  and  full  board  from  12  shillings 
($3)  a  day  up  to  20  shillings  ($5)  a  day. 

Excellent  hotels  may  be  found  where  all  this 
may  be  obtained   for  8  shillings  ($2)  a  day  and 

Good  boarding-houses  will  accommodate  visi- 
tors at  from  6  shillings  ($1.50)  up  to  10  shillings 
($2.50)  a  day. 

Lodgings  may  be  found  for  28  shillings  ($7)  a 
week,  with  breakfasts  for  7  shillings  ($1.75) 
additional. 

On  the  Continent  prices  are  lower,  and  the 
accommodations  fully  as  good. 

The  list  of  hotels  and  pensions  found  at  the 

45 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

end  of  the  volume  offer  reasonable  rates,  good 
rooms,  and  very  satisfactory  food,  with  excellent 
service. 

In  writing  in  advance  for  hotel  accommoda- 
tions, one  should  state  exactly  what  is  required 
(whether  full  board  and  rooms,  rooms  only,  or 
rooms  with  breakfast) ,  stating  the  price  one  wishes 
to  pay.  Upon  arrival,  when  inspecting  rooms, 
have  a  distinct  understanding  in  regard  to  the 
price. 

In  the  long  run  it  is  cheaper  to  engage  full 
board  rather  than  to  take  rooms  and  get  meals 
outside.  This  does  not  apply  to  taking  lodgings 
in  London. 

Always  make  a  distinct  bargain  in  regard  to 
the  hotel  and  pension  arrangement.  Be  certain 
to  know  if  there  are  to  be  extra  charges,  and,  if 
so,  have  them  stated. 

Remember  that  attendance  included  in  a 
bill  does  not  free  one  from  the  obligation 
of  tipping. 

First  and  Second  Class  Transportation. 

It  is  practical  to  travel  by  third-class  rail  in 
England  and  Scotland. 

In  Ireland  the  second-class  may  be  used,  but 
the  third-class  will  not  be  satisfactory. 

46 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

Anywhere  on  the  Continent  second-class  cars 
are  entirely  satisfactory. 

In  crossing  the  channels,  the  difference  between 
first  and  second  class  accommodations  may  be 
paid  on  the  steamer,  if  desired;  and  this  is  a 
slight  increase  of  expense  which  is  well  worth  in- 
curring, especially  if  the  season  indicates  crowded 
passage. 

On  the  Lake  boats  on  the  Continent  second- 
class  accommodations  are  good.  Difference  may 
be  paid  on  board  between  first  and  second  class, 
if  desired. 

On  the  Rhine  boats  first-class  tickets  should 
be  taken,  as  well  as  on  the  Elbe,  the  Danube,  and 
on  the  pleasure  boats  in  Holland. 


Triys  Outlined.

and  other  places  connected  with  the  life  of  Saint 
Kevin,  famihar  to  us  through  the  poems  of  Moore. 

"  Serpent- worship "  flourished  here  before 
Saint  Kevin  founded  the  Abbey,  where  Seven 
Churches  became  a  famous  seat  of  learning. 
Saint  Kevin's  "  Kitchen "  (Church)  is  a  pictur- 
esque ruin.  His  bed  is  in  a  small  cave  above  the 
lake,  visited  by  many  famous  literary  people  who 
have  written  their  names  on  the  walls.  Among 
these  names  is  that  of  Sir  Walter  Scott. 

Tom  Moore  tells  the  fatal  story  of  one  who 
tempted  the  saint,  and  her  tragic  fate.  The 
Round  Tower  is  one  of  the  best  preserved  in

Landing  at  Gibraltar. 

From  Gibraltar,  by  making  a  stop-over  be- 
tween the  sailings  of  ships,  very  enjoyal)le  trips 
may  be  made  to  Morocco  and  through  Spain. 
Landing  at  Gibraltar  is  made  by  a  tender,  and  at 
Tangier  and  Cadiz  by  strong  boats.  One  must 
go  from  Gibraltar  to  Naples  by  the  same  steam- 
ship lines  for  which  the  tickets  are  held.  Im- 
mediately upon  arrival  at  Gibraltar  go  to  the 
office  of  the  steamship  line,  and  arrange  to  sail 
upon  the  desired  date.  Thomas  Cook  &  Son, 
Waterport  Street,  corner  Parliament  Lane,  will 
also  attend  to  this  matter  of  sailing.  Tickets 
for  all  trips  in  Morocco  and  Spain  should  be  taken 
from  Cook's,  where  full  information  will  be  given 
relative  to  the  details  of  a  journey.  Money 
should  be  exchanged  at  Cook's,  where  values 
will  be  explained. 

A  good  line  of  steamers  runs  between  Gibraltar, 

84 


EUROPEAN  GUIDE 

Tangier,  and  Cadiz,  but  only  first-class  tickets 
should  be  used. 

To  reach  the  Spanish  railway  lines,  take  the 
ferry  that  runs  between  Gibraltar  and  Algeciras, 
where  is  also  the  Spanish  customs  examination. 

All  trains  from  Algeciras  run  to  Bobadilla,  from 
which  point  they  branch  for  Malaga,  Granada, 
Seville,  Cordova,  and  Madrid. 

Second-class  cars  are  fairly  comfortable  on 
Spanish  railways,  but  the  service  in  connection 
with  first-class  cars  is  enough  better  to  pay  for 
the  additional  cost.  Trains  are  run  carefully, 
but  slowly.  Nearly  all  long  distances  are  cov- 
ered by  night  travel,  for  which  there  is  often 
an  extra  charge,  aside  from  the  cost  for  the 
sleeping-cars. 

Care  must  be  taken  to  provide  a  luncheon  for 
the  trains,  as  it  is  impossible  for  a  stranger  to 
get  anything  satisfactory  to  eat  in  the  short  stops 
made  at  stations  where  there  are  restaurants. 
The  hotels  understand  this  matter  of  luncheons, 
and  provide  good  ones  in  pretty  grass-woven 
baskets. 

The  hotels  are  good  in  Spain.  Of  course, 
they  are  not  like  those  in  America,  but  they 
offer  the  accommodation  that  the  Spanish  con- 
sider desirable,  and  we  go  to  Spain  to  see 
Spain. 

85 


EUROPEAN  GUIDE 

Fine  electric  car  service  is  available  for  nearly 
all  sight-seeing,  and  every  courtesy  is  shown  a 
visitor. 

In  Tangier  only  the  best  hotels  should  be 
used.  There  are  no  street-cars,  no  carriages, 
no  sidewalks,  and  no  published  newspapers. 
One  finds  here  all  the  conditions  of  life  in  the 
Orient. 

In  Gibraltar  there  are  only  carriages  for  the 
visitor.  During  a  stop  of  a  few  hours  a  carriage 
should  be  engaged.  A  bargain  must  be  made, 
and  a  tip  of  1^.  (25  cents)  should  be  given  the 
driver.  A  carriage  for  four  persons,  for  the 
regulation  drive  (not  to  include  crossing  the 
Neutral  Ground),  can  be  hired  for  10^.  ($2.50). 
If  the  drive  is  extended  across  the  Neutral  Ground, 
pay  4s.  ($1)  extra. 

Baggage  at  Gibraltar. 

If  one  does  not  wish  to  take  trunks  upon  a 
little  journey  in  Spain,  Thomas  Cook  &  Son  will 
stoi-e  them  carefully.  By  all  means  plan  for  light 
baggage  in  Spain,  if  merely  to  save  time  in  look- 
ing after  it.  On  no  account  allow  any  baggage 
to  go  forward  with  the  sliip  to  Naples.  Take 
it  all  ashore  at  Gibraltar.

Landing  at  Algiers. 

Occasionally,  during  the  winter  and  early 
spring,  the  AVhite  Star  Lino  makes  stops  at 
Algiers  after  leaving  Gibraltar. 

If  a  stop-over  can  be  arranged  between  sail- 
ings, Algiers  will  be  found  most  delightful.  There 
is  the  perfection  of  modern  civilization,  and  the 
picturesque  life  of  the  Moorish  part  of  the  city, 
with  veiled  Arabian  women,  crowds  of  people 
in  odd  costumes,  and  bazaars  full  of  attractive 
wares. 

Some  trips  of  remarkable  interest  may  be  made 
from  Algiers  into  country  that  is  like  a  new 
world  to  an  American. 

In  three  weeks  one  can  see  all  of  Algiers,  and 
go  by  rail  to  places  on  the  edge  of  the  Great  Des- 
ert where  caravans  come  pouring  in  with  their 
treasures  from  Sahara;  one  may  drive  to  an  oasis, 
see  ruins  of  the  Roman  occupation  here  in 
North  Africa;  and  may  visit  Tunis  with  its 
palaces  of  the  Bey,  and  enjoy  a  sight  of  the  ruins 
of  Carthage.  Take  only  hand -baggage  from 
Algiers.

If  more  time  may  be  allowed,  there  is  a  return

this  Oriental  city,  with  its  remarkable  canal  and 
lake.     Restaurant  at  the  railway  station. 

Landing  at  Genoa. 

If  the  steamer  stops  at  Genoa  before  going  on 
to  Naples,  one  has  time  to  get  a  very  good  general 
idea  of  the  city.  Electric  cars  at  the  head  of  the 
pier  take  one  to  the  business  centre,  the  Piazza 
Deferrari,  from  which  car-lines  lead  to  all  impor- 
tant points. 

Carriage  hire  is  only  1.50  lira  (30  cents)  an  hour, 
with  75  centesimi  (15  cents)  for  each  succeeding 
hour,  and  a  drive  of  three  hours  will  be  very  satis- 
factory. Carriage  with  2  horses  costs  2  lire  (40 
cents)  an  hour,  with  1  lira  (20  cents)  for  each 
succeeding  half-hour. 

An  electric  car   leaves  from  the  Piazza  Defer- 

90 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

rari  for  the  Campo  Santo,  at  Staglieno.  Half  an 
hour  each  way.  Car-fares,  25  cent.  (5  cents) 
each  way.  Visit  this  Campo  Santo  without  fail. 
A  cable  tramway  from  the  Piazza  della  Zecca 
takes  the  visitor  to  the  Castellaccio  Righi,  where 
there  is  a  superb  view.  Twenty  minutes  each 
way.     Car-fares,  50  cent.  (10  cents),  round  trip. 

Landing  at  Naples. 

Visitors  landing  at  Naples  find  the  customs 
examination  at  the  pier,  and  will  have  no  diffi- 
culty in  passing  this.  The  officials  are  courteous, 
and  the  porters  zealous  to  help  a  stranger. 

The  confusion  and  chatter  is  only  a  part  of 
what  makes  up  Neapolitan  life,  and,  if  under- 
stood, is  most  amusing. 

Follow  the  baggage  closely,  with  the  porters. 
Do  not  open  it  till  an  officer  is  ready  to  look  at  it. 
See  that  he  marks  it  to  pass  the  officer  at  the  door. 

If  one  is  going  to  a  hotel,  the  porter  of  that 
hotel  (with  its  name  on  his  cap)  will  assist  with 
the  baggage,  and  will  see  it  safely  through  the 
customs  and  pay  all  the  necessary  tips  and  fees. 
He  will  keep  strict  account  of  this,  and  may  be 
entirely  trusted.  Settlement  can  be  made  with 
him  later. 

If  one  is  going  to  a  pension,  it  is  only  necessary 

91 


EUROPEAN  GUIDE 

to  write  to  such  an  address  in  advance,  and  upon 
request  a  man  will  be  sent  to  the  pier,  with  the 
house  name  on  his  cap,  and  he  will  render  careful 
and  honest  service. 

If  a  carriage  is  taken  instead  of  a  hotel  omni- 
bus, allow  the  proprietor  of  the  pension  (or  the 
man  whom  he  has  sent)  to  pay  for  it.  A  trunk 
may  be  taken  on  the  front  of  the  carriage.  Do 
not  leave  any  baggage  at  the  pier  to  be  sent  for 
later,     Tliis  is  important  to  reincmher. 

Electric  cars  at  the  entrance  to  the  pier  (going 
toward  the  right)  take  one  to  the  Museum,  with 
its  art  treasures  and  all  the  wealth  of  its  collec- 
tions from  Pompeii  and  Herculaneum. 

Going  to  the  left,  the  visitor  reaches  theGalleria 
Humberto  and  Palace,  and,  continuing  on  along 
the  same  route,  passes  through  Santa  Lucia  with 
its  curious  scenes,  the  Villa  Nazionale,  and  on  to 
the  height  Posilipo.  These  cars  are  marked  in 
front  as  ours  are,  in  the  one  instance  "Museo" 
and  in  the  other  "  Posilipo."  There  are  sections 
in  each  car  for  1st  and  2d  class  passengers,  and 
the  2d  class  will  be  found  good.  Fares  are  ar- 
ranged according  to  distance,  and  are  cheap.  In 
each  instance  a  little  ticket  of  receipt  is  given  when 
the  fare  is  paid,  and  occasionally  an  inspector 
comes  through  a  car  and  asks  to  see  it. 

The  electric  car  service  covers  the  city  well. 

92 


EUROPEAN  GUIDE 

The  upper  heights  are  reached  by  a  funicular 
railway,  as  well  as  by  the  electric  cars. 

Carriages  are  cheap,  but  a  bargain  must  be 
made  before  starting  for  any  considerable  distance. 
A  landau  in  the  city  costs  for  1  day  L.  20  ($4). 
It  seats  four  persons  comfortably.  A  Victoria  in

Sicily. 

For  the  traveller  who  seeks  something  a  little 
out  of  the  ordinary  path  of  the  tourist  there  is 
the  enchanting  Island  of  Sicily,  so  full  of  history 
and  the  stories  of  mythology,  in  the  days 

"When  the  heavens  were  nearer  to  us, 
And  the  gods  were  more  familiar." 

Each  night  of  the  week  a  steamer  leaves 
Naples  for  Palermo,  which  is  a  better  way  to  go 
than  by  Messina.  Steamers  sail  from  the  Im- 
macolatella  Nuova  at  7.25  p.m.,  and  arrive  at 
Palermo  early  the  next  morning.  Tickets,  1st 
class,  L.  34.25  ($6.85).  Meals  are  extra.  A  good 
dinner  is  served  on  board  at  8  p.m.,  but  it  is  wiser 
to  have  dinner  on  shore,  and  to  see  that  it  is  a 
simple  one.

EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

The  railway  ride  from  Palermo  to  Messina 
is  most  beautiful.  On  the  right  are  mountains 
whose  spurs  are  crowned  with  towns  and  ruined 
castles.  The  lower  slopes  are  covered  with  groves 
of  lemons,  oranges,  and  olives.  On  the  left  is  the 
wide  stretch  of  the  sea  with  a  far  view  of  the 
Lipari   Islands. 

From  Messina  it  is  a  short  railway  ride  to 
Giardini,  where  a  carriage  is  taken  for  a  drive 
over  the  magical  road  to  Taormina.  This  town 
lies  along  a  spur  in  the  mountains.  Towering 
heights  rise  above  its  ruined  Greek  Theatre.  In 
the  near  distance  yEtna,  "the  great  white 
mother,"  gleams  against  the  blue  sky,  and  the 
sea  lies  at  its  feet. 

The  railway  lies  along  by  the  sea  to  Catania, 
which  is  at  the  foot  of  ^Etna,  and  built  upon 
vast  lava  beds. 

Beyond  is  old  Syracuse,  with  its  wind-swept,  level 
ruins  of  Greek,  Saracen,  and  Roman  occupa- 
tion. Thence  inland,  across  Sicily  and  back  to 
Palermo. 

A  trip  to  Girgenti  to  visit  its  notable  Greek 
ruins  will  cost  in  addition:  1st  class,  L.  15.40 
($3.08);  2d  class,  L.  10.80  ($2.16). 

There  is  a  circular  trip  around  the  base  of 
iEtna  that  is  interesting.  It  may  be  taken  on 
the  way  from  Taormina  to  Catania  by  changing

cars  at  Giarre.  The  cost  of  tlic  trip  from  Giarre 
to  Catania  is:  1st  class,  L.  9.35  ($1.87);  2d  class, 
L.  7.10  ($1.42). 

By  leaving  Giardini  (Taormina)  at  10.14  a.m., 
one  arrives  at  Giarre  at  10.42  a.m.  The  station 
for  the  "  Circumetnea "  railway,  as  it  is  called, 
is  near  the  regular  main  line  station,  and  the 
train  leaves  at   11.26  a.m. 

A  stop  is  made  at  all  the  towns,  and  one  gets  a 
rare  opportunity  to  see  the  whole  mountain,  its 
characteristics  and  what  the  eruptions  have  done. 
Catania  is  reached  at  6.38  p.m.  Leave  the  train 
at  the  station  "Borgo  Catania,"  where  carriage 
may  be  taken  to  hotel. 


Dining-car  Service  in  Sicily. 

There  is  now  a  regular  dining-car  on  all  the 
through  trains  in  Sicily.  When  arranging  to 
start  from  Palermo,  Messina,  Catania,  Syracuse, 
or  Girgenti,  ask  for  trains  that  provide  this  ser- 
vice. Light  breakfast  is  L.  1.25  (25  cents); 
luncheon,  with  wine  included,  L.  3  (60  cents) ; 
dinner,  with  wine  included,  L.  4  (80  cents.)

charge  for  a  meal,  table  d'hote,  with  wine  in- 
cluded, is  L.  3.50  (70  cents).

EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

The  best  season  for  visiting  Sicily  is  in  the  early 
spring  and  the  early  summer.  The  weather  is 
then  perfect. 

If  one  can  remain  a  month  or  six  weeks  in  the 
island,  it  is  feasible  to  go  in  February.  Upon 
cold  days  it  will  not  be  necessary  to  do  any 
sight-seeing.  When  time  is  limited,  every  day 
and  hour  must  be  occupied,  whatever  the 
weather. 

There  is  excellent  electric  car  service  in  Palermo 
and  Catania.  No  driving  is  needed  in  Messina, 
to  see  it  all.  As  there  are  no  street -cars  in  Syra- 
cuse, and  the  distances  to  be  covered  in  sight-seeing 
are  very  great,  carriages  should  be  engaged  by 
the  day.  Two  days  will  cover  it  well,  but  five 
days  would  be  much  more  satisfactory. 


Landing  at  Trieste. 

Travellers  arriving  at  Trieste,  Austria,  by  the 
Mediterranean  route  of  the  Cunard  line,  may  take 
finely  appointed  steamers  of  the  Austrian  Lloyd

The  steamers  leave  Trieste  on  Thursdays  at  8  a.m.;  Friday,

country  in  which  it  is  hired.  This  pillow  is  left 
in  the  car  upon  arrival  at  the  destination. 

If  there  are  three  ladies  in  a  family  or  party, 
a  "Berliner"  may  be  engaged  through  the  offi- 
cials of  the  International  Sleeping  Car  Company. 
This  provides  comfortable  accommodation  for 
just  this  number  of  persons. 

The  International  Sleeping  Car  Company  has 
offices  in  all  the  principal  cities  and  resorts  of 
Europe  and  the  British  Isles.  As  excellent  and 
careful  service  is  given,  as  upon  our  own  Pullman 
trains. 

The  price  for  a  sleeper  is,  of  course,  a  supple- 
mentary one,  as  on  our  railways.  It  is  not  ex- 
cessive. 

On  all  the  trains  going  over  long  distances  there 
are  dining  and  restaurant  cars  where  satisfactory 
meals  are  served.  Passengers  in  the  second- 
class  cars  may  enjoy  the  advantage  of  this  service. 

The  usual  price  for  breakfast  of  tea,  coffee,  or 
chocolate,  with  bread  and  butter,  is  from  20  to 
40  cents,  according  to  the  country  through  which 

116 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

the  travel  is  made.  Luncheon,  from  62  cents  to 
$1.  Dmner,  from  87  cents  to  $1.50.  Wines  are 
extra. 

This  International  Company  has  an  organized 
system  of  what  is  called  "travel  de  luxe,"  for 
which  there  is  an  extra  charge  over  and  above 
the  regular  first-class  fare.  The  trains  are  vesti- 
hulcd,  made  up  of  saloon,  dining,  and  sleeping 
cars. 

As  an  example  of  the  expense  of  travel  by  these 
trains : — the  regular  ticket  from  London  to  Berlin 
is— via  Calais— £5  17,9.  ($29.25).  The  sup- 
plementary cost  for  the  train  dc  luxe  is  £1  8s.  6d. 
($7.12).  This  sum  insures  rapid  travel  and  all 
possible  comfort  e?i  route. 

Various  Forms  of  Railway  Tickets. 

The  growing  demand  for  reasonable  and  con- 
venient transportation  by  rail  is  met  in  the  several 
countries,  as  in  our  own,  with  a  variety  of  special 
tickets.  With  a  little  care  an  up-to-date  Amer- 
ican can  take  advantage  of  these,  and  save  a  deal 
of  money. 

Circular  Tickets. 

The  circular  ticket  is  simple,  satisfactory,  and 
reasonable  in  price.     The  expense  is  greatly  re- 

117 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

duced  through  this  form  of  ticket,  so  much  so 
that  one  can  afford  to  leave  a  portion  of  it  unused, 
and  still  make  a  saving  on  the  railway  expense. 

For  instance,  one  might  take  a  circular  ticket 
from  London,  through  Belgium,  Germany,  Switz- 
erland, and  to  France.  Arriving  at  Paris,  a  ship 
might  be  taken  from  Havre  or  Boulogne-sur- 
mer,  leaving  the  ticket  unused  back  to  London. 
And  even  with  this  part  unused  there  is  a  material 
saving. 

If,  in  addition  to  the  circular  ticket,  one  can  get 
along  with  hand-baggage  only,  a  journey  may  be 
made  at  little  cost. 

The  tickets  are  carefully  arranged,  and  there 
is  no  difficulty  in  understanding  how  to  use  them. 

French  Railway  Tickets. 

The  cost  for  regular  fares  in  France  is  at  the 
rate  of  about  three  and  three-fifths  of  a  cent  a 
mile,  in  our  money,  for  first-class  cars,  and  two  and 
two-fifths  of  a  cent  a  mile  for  second-class. 

Through  the  purchase  of  a  mileage  book, 
which  is  called  a  "kilometer"  book,  the  cost  is 
reduced  to  about  one  and  tlu*ee-fifths  of  a  cent 
a  mile  for  first  class,  and  one  and  one-tenth  of  a 
cent  for  second  class. 

If  some  600  miles  are  to  be  covered,  the  cost  is 

118 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

reduced  to  only  a  cent  a  mile  for  second  class 
and  a  fraction  more  for  first  class. 

These  books  are  sold  for  desired  distances,  and 
are  available  for  certain  periods  of  time.  They 
may  be  used  on  all  the  main  lines  of  railway  in 
France. 

To  illustrate:  For  a  book  available  to  travel 
187  miles, — the  shortest  distance  that  these  books 
cover, — and  good  for  30  days,  the  cost  is:  1st 
class,  F.  27  ($5.40);  2d  class,  F.  19  ($3.80).  A 
regular  ticket  for  this  distance  would  cost,  1st 
class,  F.  33.60  ($6.72). 

The  regular  fare  for  a  distance  of  some  625 
miles  would  be  $22.40,  but  by  getting  a  kilo- 
meter book  the  cost  is:  1st  class,  $16.20;  2d 
class,  $12.     The  book  is  good  for  30  days. 

As  distances  increase,  the  price  decreases;  and 
for  a  book  good  to  be  used  60  days,  and  to  cover 
about  3,000  miles,  the  cost  is  only  $50  against 
the  regular  first-class  fare  of  $112. 

Sectional  Tickets. 

France  divides  her  railways  into  seven  divi- 
sions, and  these  divisions  are  arranged  in  sections 
for  special  travel  by  sectional  tickets. 

These  tickets  are  sold  for  a  fixed  sum,  and  on 
them  one  may  travel  all  day,  and  every  day,  in 

119 


EUROPEAN  GUIDE 

any  part  of  the  district  that  has  been  selected, 
during  the  whole  of  a  fixed  time. 

For  instance,  one  might  decide  to  travel  in 
Touraine  and  all  along  down  through  France 
towards  Avignon  or  Nimes.  By  taking  a  sec- 
tional ticket,  it  would  be  possible  to  travel  con- 
stantly for  15  days:  for  1st  class,  F.  68  ($13.60); 
2d  class,  F.  46  ($9.20).  The  time  may  be  ex- 
tended to  30  days  for  the  travel :  tickets,  1st  class, 
F.  102  ($20.40);  2d  class,  F.  69  ($13.80). 

Another  arrangement  is  that  persons  may  travel 
about  185  miles  free,  to  reach  a  desired  division 
to  begin  this  sectional  travel.  For  instance,  one 
could  travel  from  Paris  to  Belfort  free  if  one  of 
these  sectional  tickets  was  to  be  used  in  that  in- 
teresting division  of  France. 

A  Permit. 

All  over  the  seven  divisions  of  the  French  rail- 
ways there  is  an  arrangement  for  second  and  third 
class  travel  that  is  admirable.  Persons  may  buy 
a  "  Permit "  that  allows  them  to  purchase  second 
and  third  class  railway  tickets  for  half  the  regu- 
lar fare  during  a  period  of  3  months. 

A  "Permit"  costing  F.  95  ($19)  is  good  for  3 
months.  During  this  period,  tickets  may  be  pur- 
chased over  one  or  all  seven  of  the   divisions  of 

120 


EUROPEAN  GUIDE 

railways  at  half  the  regular  price  for  fares.     These 
tickets  are  not  transferable. 


Belgium  Railway  Tickets. 

The  railways  in  Belgium  cover  the  entire  coun- 
try with  2,500  miles  of  track.  There  is  an 
admirable  system  for  reducing  fares  on  these 
lines. 

A  ticket  is  issued  costing,  1st  class,  F.  30.75 
($6.15),  and  2d  class,  F.  20.50  ($4.10),  which  is 
good  for  constant  use  in  every  direction  over  Bel- 
gium for  5  days. 

Tickets,  1st  class,  F.  61.50  ($12.30),  and  2d 
class,  F.  41  ($8.20),  are  good  for  constant  travel 
all  over  Belgium  for  15  days. 

These  tickets  must  bear  a  small  photograph 
of  the  holder,  which  guards  against  any  transfer. 
The  photographs  are  easily  obtained  in  any  city 
or  town,  and  there  is  a  perfect  understanding  of 
the  size  required,  as  the  people  use  them  con- 
stantly. They  must  be  printed  on  paper  2j 
inches  long  by  If  inches  wide. 

Application  for  these  tickets  must  be  made  a 
few  days  in  advance  of  the  time  for  which  they 
are  required.  When  the  ticket  is  issued,  there  is 
a  supplementary  charge  demanded  of  F.  5  ($1). 
Not  later  than  the  day  after  the  ticket  expires,  it 

121 


EUROPEAN  GUIDE 

must  be  returned  through  some  station  on  the 
Belgian  railways. 

If  this  is  not  done,  the  $1  that  has  been  paid 
is  held  by  the  railway.  If  the  condition  is  ful- 
filled, the  $1  is  refunded  at  the  station  where  the 
ticket  is  returned. 

These  tickets  are  sold  in  London  at  the  office 
of  the  company,  12a  Regent  Street,  and  at  the 
ticket  office  of  the  Liverpool  Street  Station. 

Railway  time  in  Belgium  is  counted  from  1  to 
24  o'clock.     24  o'clock  is  midnight. 

Holland  Railway  Tickets. 

Holland  has  railway  tickets  available  for  use 
over  all  lines  of  the  Railway  Company  and  good 
for  30  days.  The  prices  are:  1st  class,  G.  62.50 
($25);    2d  class,  G.  41.65  ($16.66). 

Application  for  these  tickets  must  be  made  8 
days  in  advance  of  the  time  the  journey  is  to 
begin.  An  unmounted  photograph,  2|  inches 
long  by  If  wide,  must  be  presented  when  ticket 
is  applied  for. 

A  deposit  of  85.  4d.  ($2.08)  must  be  paid  at 
time  of  issue  of  the  ticket.  This  sum  will  be  re- 
funded within  8  days  after  the  ticket  expires. 

The  Continental  Traffic  Manager,  Liverpool 
Street   Station,  London,  E.G.,  will  give  full  in- 

122 


EUROPEAN  GUIDE 

formation  about  ordering  these  tickets.  They 
are  for  sale  at  the  Central  Station,  x\msterdam, 
at  the  three  stations  in  Rotterdam,  and  at  the 
station  of  the  Hook  of  Holland. 

There  is  another  ticket,  1st  class,  G.  2  ($0.80), 
2d  class,  G.  1..50  ($0.60),  that  allows  one  to  travel 
from  Rotterdam,  The  Hague,  Amsterdam,  Gouda, 
or  Utrecht,  to  any  one  of  20  cities  and  towns 
or  from  one  of  these  places  back  to  any  one  of  the 
above-mentioned  cities.  No  stop-over  privilege 
is  allowed. 

Six  persons  for  first-class  travel,  or  eight  persons 
for  second-class,  may  purchase  tickets  at  half-price 
for  a  single  journey.  For  a  round-trip  these  per- 
sons need  only  pay  the  price  of  one  single  fare  each. 

In  summer  cheap  tickets  are  sold  over  direct 
routes,  good  for  one  day  only  and  with  no  stop- 
over privileges.  Tickets,  1st  class,  G.  4  ($1.60), 
2d  class,  G.  3  ($1.20),  permit  one  to  travel  from 
any  one  station  on  a  line  to  another  station,  no 
matter  how  great  the  distance. 

German  Railway  Tickets. 

Germany  has  railways  on  State  systems,  and  in 
each  of  these  there  are  good  arrangements  for 
cheap  travel. 

The    Baden    State    Railway    sells    kilometer 

123 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

coupon  books  that  arc  <i;ood  for  one  year.  For  a 
book  that  will  cover  1,000  kilometers  the  price  is: 
1st  class,  M.  60  ($15);   2d  class,  M.  40  ($10). 

For  a  book  that  will  cover  .500  kilometers  there 
is  a  rate  for  third  class,  which  provides  good  cars 
and  service,  cost  M.  12.50  ($3.12).  These  tickets 
are  sold  at  all  important  stations  on  the  Baden 
State  Railway. 

For  the  entire  German  Empire  there  are  kilo- 
meter books  at  a  price  a  tliird  less  than  regular 
rates. 

Switzerland  Railway  Tickets. 

In  Switzerland  there  are  season  tickets  at  a 
reasonable  rate,  good  for  certain  periods  of  time. 
There  is  a  ticket,  1st  class,  F.  77.15  ($15.43), 
2d  class,  F.  56.55  ($11.31),  good  for  15  days.  On 
this  ticket  one  may  travel  constantly  in  every 
direction,  using  all  trains,  except  specials,  and 
the  steamers  on  the  Swiss  lakes. 

There  is  another  ticket  that  offers  this  advantage 
of  constant  travel:  1st  class,  F.  118.30  ($23.66); 
2d  class,  F.  94.75  ($18.95),— good  for  30  days. 

The  second-class  tickets  are  good  for  first-class 
deck  and  cabin  accommodation  on  the  lake 
steamers. 

With  the  application  for    these  tickets  there 

124 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

must  be  sent  the  small  unmounted  photograph, 
2^  inches  long  by  If  mches  wide.  If  applying  for 
tickets  in  a  large  city,  allow  half  a  day  for  de- 
livery.    In  small  places  allow  a  whole  day. 

The  Swiss  railways  also  sell  coupon  books  that 
cost  only  F.  2.60  ($0.52)  for  one  hundred  coupons. 
These  are  torn  out  by  the  railway  officials,  as  our 
mileage  coupons  are,  according  to  distance. 

For  the  several  Swiss  lakes  there  are  special 
coupon  books  that  can  be  used  by  a  group  of 
persons.  On  Lake  Geneva  such  a  book  costs, 
1st  class,  F.  20  ($4),  and  2d  class,  F.  10  ($2), 
available  for  all  points  on  the  lake.  On  Lake 
Thun  a  book  costs  F.  2.50  ($0.50);  on  the  Lake 
of  the  Four  Cantons  a  book  costs  F.  12.50  ($2.50) ; 
and  on  Lake  Zurich  it  costs  F.  5  ($1).  The  cou- 
pons are  good  for  all  points  on  the  lakes. 

Italian  Railway  Tickets. 

Circular  tickets  are  sold  in  Italy  and  Sicily. 
There  arc  also  special  division  tickets,  as  in 
France.  For  30  days  one  may  travel  constantly 
over  the  Italian  railways:  tickets,  1st  class,  li.  300 
($60);  2d  class,  L.  210  ($42).  For  60  days  one 
may  enjoy  constant  travel  over  all  parts  of  Italy: 
tickets,  1st  class,  L.  475  ($95);  2d  class,  L.  330 
($66). 

125 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

A  ticket  covorinij;  all  the  raihvcays  of  Sicily,  and 
available  for  constant  travel  for  15  days,  costs: 
1st  class,  L.  75  ($15);  2d  class,  L.  55  ($11). 

A  ticket  offerinf^  the  same  advantages  for  30 
days  costs:  1st  class,  L.  100  ($20);  2d  class,  L. 
80  ($16). 

All  railway  time  tables  in  Italy  are  arranged 
with  hours  from  1  to  24  o'clock,  24  o'clock  being 
midnight. 

Spcmish  Railway  Tickets. 

In  addition  to  circular  tickets  for  travel  in 
Spain,  there  are  kilometer  tickets  that  offer  very 
reasonable  rates.  These  tickets  are  good  on  all 
the  railways  of  the  country. 

For  3,000  kilometers  or  more  the  tickets  are 
good  for  seven  persons  of  the  same  family  or 
three  persons  of  the  same  firm. 

Tickets  covering  3,000  kilometers  cost  $44, 
and  are  good  for  4  months. 

Spanish  railways'  time  tables  use  the  same  sys- 
tem as  in  Italy,  ruiming  from  1  to  24  o'clock. 

Where  to  get  Tickets. 

If  one  is  unfamiliar  with  the  railway  customs 
and  regulations  in  the  various  countries,  it  is  well 
to  buy  regular  or  circular  tickets  at  the  office  of 

12G 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

Thomas  Cook  &  Son  or  through  the  American 
Express  Company  in  the  large  cities  of  Europe. 

These  companies  are  official  agents  for  all 
steamship  and  railway  lines,  and  are  in  a  position 
to  provide  whatever  is  required  at  the  regular 
rates.  This  is  particularly  true  of  Thomas  Cook 
&  Son,  who  have  at  all  the  railway  stations  in 
large  cities  and  at  each  landing  point  for  steam- 
ships men  in  the  company  uniform,  to  render 
assistance  to  travellers. 

At  many  points  the  American  Express  Com- 
pany has  men  in  uniform  to  assist  their  patrons. 

In  each  city  there  are  many  offices  where  tickets 
are  for  sale  and  where  special  inducements  are 
offered  the  traveller;  but,  unless  such  offices  have 
some  official  standing,  they  should  be  avoided  by 
strangers. 

It  is,  of  course,  always  safe  to  buy  tickets  at 
the  railway  stations;  but  the  hours  when  the 
offices  are  open  are  limited,  the  ticket  sellers 
rarely  understand  English,  and  it  is  difficult  to 
make  them  clearly  comprehend  what  is  desired 
in  the  way  of  transportation. 

Even  with  agents  of  such  experience  as  those 
of  Thomas  Cook  &  Son,  one  should  have  a  good 
idea  as  to  the  route  to  be  taken.  They  will  then 
help  with  full  details  as  to  the  best  arrangement 
of  this  route. 

127 


EUROPEAN  GUIDE 

When  tickets  are  purchased,  they  must  be  care- 
fully looked  over  and  thoroughly  understood  be- 
fore leaving  the  office.  A  small  error  in  a  ticket 
will  often  cause  the  greatest  inconvenience. 

Certain  rules  apply  in  regard  to  dating  and 
stamping  tickets  and  the  stop-over  privileges. 
On  the  Cook  tickets  their  rules  are  all  set  forth 
plainly  in  English. 

Through  the  Cook  offices  it  is  always  possiljle 
to  arrange  in  advance  for  the  reserving  of  certain 
seats  in  cars  or  of  whole  cars,  if  necessary.  Sleep- 
ing-cars for  travel  all  over  Europe  can  be  engaged 
through  them  for  the  person  who  wishes  to  make 
careful  and  close  connections. 

All  tickets  of  a  special  or  sectional  form  must 
be  obtained  at  the  offices  of  railway  officials, 
either  in  the  several  city  offices  or  at  the  railway 
stations.  As  these  tickets  are  used  by  the  travel- 
ling public  in  each  country,  the  tourist  agencies 
do  not  sell  them. 

How  Tickets  are  Handled. 

In  England  the  railway  tickets  are  collected  on 
the  trains. 

All  over  the  Continent  the  tickets  are  given  up 
or  punched  for  a  stop-over  at  the  gate  through 
which  one  leaves  the  station. 

128 


EUROPEAN  GUIDE 

Before  a  train  starts,  the  conductor,  both  in 
England  and  on  the  Continent,  goes  to  each  car 
and  looks  at  or  punches  the  tickets  held  by  the 
passengers.  There  is  thus  little  danger  of  start- 
ing on  the  wrong  train. 

When  leaving  stations  in  many  European  coun- 
tries, it  is  necessary  to  have  tickets  punched  at  a 
gate,  as  one  passes  to  the  train.  Very  often  pas- 
sengers are  not  allovv^ed  to  go  to  the  platform  till 
the  train  is  ready  for  them. 

Learn  to  read  Time  Tables. 

All  travellers  should  learn  to  read  time  tables. 
These  are  sold  at  all  stations;  for  they  are  not 
free,  as  with  us.  By  being  familiar  with  time 
tables,  there  is  the  satisfaction  of  being  informed 
as  to  stops,  where  the  frontiers  are,  and  if  the 
train  is  on  time. 

Here,  again,  Thomas  Cook  &  Son  offer  valuable 
aid  to  the  traveller.  For  the  sum  of  25  cents  they 
sell  a  "Comprehensive  Continental  Time  Table 
and  Tourists'  Handbook,"  giving  all  trains  and 
steamers  ordinarily  used,  and  this  publication  is 
kept  well  revised.

WHAT   TO   SEE. 

It  is  well,  on  arriving  at  a  city,  to  ask  the  hotel 
porter  to  inform  you  what  permits  are  neces- 
sary in  sight-seeing.  For  instance,  by  apply- 
ing for  permits  to  the  right  authorities  one  may 
see  the  sewers  and  catacombs  of  Paris  and  part 
of  the  Conciergerie  in  which  ]Marie  Antoinette 
was  confined.  In  London  permits  will  open 
special  rooms  in  the  London  Tower,  also  will 
allow  one  to  visit  the  Royal  Stables,  the  Man- 
sion House,  etc.

GUIDE   BOOKS. 

Each  city  has  a  local  Guide  Book  that  is  al- 
ways useful,  and  there  arc  catalogues  at  each 
Gallery  and  Museum. 

For  general  use,  however,  the  traveller  should 
have  the  Baedeker  Guide  Books.  They  are  as 
complete  as  space  allows,  and  they  include  plans 
of  cities,  maps  of  countries,  full  catalogues  of  all 
Galleries  and  Museums,  detailed  descriptions 
of  routes  in  every  direction,  and  information  as 
to  hotels.  While  they  are  expensive,  as  many 
are  needed  in  an  extended  tour,  they  are  valuable 
ever  after  for  reference. 

The  following  Baedekers  may  be  had  at  all 
first-class  bookstores  in  both  the  United  States 
and  Europe: — 

Great  Britain,  $3.00.  London  and  its  Environs,  $1.80. 
The  United  States,  $3.60.  The  Dominion  of  Canada,  $1.50. 
Austria  (including  Hungary),  $2.40.  Belgiiun  and  Holland,

EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

For  general  detail,  in  brief  form,  the  Satchel 
Guide  is  excellent,  and  it  is  kept  carefully  revised. 

Thomas  Cook  &  Son  have  a  complete  list  of 
good  Guide  Books  that  are  cheaper  than  the 
Baedeker  books. 

For  Ireland,  Scotland,  and  the  English  Lakes, 
Black's  Guide  Books  are  satisfactory.  Murray's 
"In  Ireland"  is  also  good. 

The  Murray  and  O'Sliea  Guide  Books  are  good 
for  Spain. 

Murray  and  Macmillan  have  carefully  revised 
books  for  the  Mediterranean. 

The  Index  Guide  is  admirable  for  general  use 
and  for  its  aid  in  the  Galleries.  Special  atten- 
tion is  given  to  Art. 

"  Hare's  Walks  "  and  Hare's  books  upon  travel 
listed  in  the  following  list  are  a  treasure-house 
of  information  as  to  historical,  archaeological,  and 
antiquarian  points  of  interest,  and,  what  is  as  im- 
portant, they  are  interesting  reading.  The  David 
McKay  edition  of  Hare  is  less  expensive  than 
the  Macmillan  edition,  and  the  binding  is  more 
attractive. 

The  above  books  give  brief  outlines  on  Art  and 
Architecture.  Individual  taste  and  knowledge 
will  help  the  traveller  in  selecting  from  the  follow- 
ing carefully  prepared  list  of  books  those  needed 
for  preparation.

Chapter  IX. 
FINAL  SUGGESTIONS. 

Local  Guides. 

A  local  guide  is  often  of  the  greatest  service 
in  the  large  cities.  Much  time  is  saved  by  having 
some  one  who  understands  how  to  get  about 
quickly  and  who  can  point  out  the  important 
things  to  be  seen.  At  any  hotel  good  guides  will 
be  furnished  upon  application.  Thomas  Cook 
&  Son  make  a  specialty  of  this  service,  and  their 
men  may  be  engaged  by  the  day  or  the  week. 
Prices  depend  upon  the  class  of  service  required, 
and  range  from  $2  to  $3  a  day.  Couriers  to 
travel  and  take  full  charge  of  all  details  of  a 
journey  may  be  engaged  through  Thomas  Cook 
&  Son. 

Arrange  to  use  a  Cable  Code,  if  needed  for  im- 
portant matters.  There  are  many  good  Code 
Books.  The  "Adams"  is  especially  practical. 
The  Western  Union  Company  has  an  Inter- 
national Code  Book  that  will  be  found  in  all  the 
chief  international  business  offices  of  Europe. 
A  private  code  may  be  made,  and  in  this  event 
take  duplicate  copies,  and  keep  them  in  two 
separate  places,  as  a  cable  message  by  a  private 
rode  is  useless  without  the  key  by  which  to  read  it. 

177 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

Money  may  be  cabled  to  Europe  through  tlie 
American  Express  Company  at  reasonable  rates. 
In  addition  to  the  cost  of  the  message,  the  rates

Thermometers. 

Germany,  Austro-Hungary,  and  Russia,  and 
those  cantons  of  Switzerland  along  the  German 
frontier  use  the  Reaumur  Thermometer.  The 
other  cantons  of  Switzerland,  Italy,  France, 
Spain,  Portugal,  and  Greece  use  the  Centigrade. 
In  England  and  in  Holland  the  Fahrenheit  is 
used. 

The  Return  Voyage. 

Having  made  one  trip  across  the  ocean,  all 
details  relative  to  the  return  voyage  are  well 
understood.  The  two  important  things  to  at- 
tend to  at  once  are  the  engaging  of  seats  at  table 
and  reserving  the  hour  for  the  baths. 

The  customs  officers  come  on  board  in  the 
harbor  at  whatever  point  of  landing.  They  go 
at  once  to  the  dining  saloon,  and  passengers 
form  in  lines,  and  await  their  turn  to  make  the 
declaration  in  regard  to  what  they  have  as  to 
baggage,  and  sign  and  swear  to  this  declaration. 

180 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

Remember  that  the  United  States  government 
does  not  demand  a  minute  statement  as  to  small 
private  purchases.  For  instance,  there  is  a  duty 
on  gloves,  to  protect  merchants  who  buy  gloves 
abroad  and  pay  duties  on  them.  These  mer- 
chants keep  these  gloves  for  the  accommodation 
of  their  patrons. 

It  would  not  be  just  to  allow  individuals  to 
bring  into  the  country  an  unlimited  number  of 
these  gloves,  but  there  is  nothing  to  prevent  each 
person  having  a  reasonable  supply. 

So,  when  the  question  as  to  gloves  is  asked,  it 
is  not  merely,  "  Have  you  any  gloves  ?"  but  it  is, 
"Have  you  any  gloves  upon  which  you  should 
pay  a  duty  ?" 

If  there  is  any  feeling  of  uncertainty  about  the 
matter  of  duty,  the  officer  who  is  asking  the  ques- 
tions will  explain  if  so  requested. 

Each  person  is  allowed  to  bring  into  the  United 
States  personal  wearing  apparel  to  the  value  of 
$100,  and  this  must  be  remembered  in  making 
the  declaration.  It  should  be  understood  that, 
if  the  declaration  specifies  any  stated  amount  as 
dutiable,  the  goods  to  equal  this  amount  must  be 
shown  to  the  official. 

Having  signed  the  declaration,  a  card  with  a  num- 
ber is  handed  to  the  passenger.  This  number 
corresponds  with  the  number  on  the  paper  signed. 

181 


EUROPEAN    GUIDE 

Having  landed  at  the  pier,  after  the  stewards 
have  brought  the  baggage  from  the  ship,  get  it 
all  together.  Then  join  the  line  to  wait  for  a  turn 
to  get  an  officer  to  examine  it. 

Upon  reaching  the  desk  and  handing  the  num- 
bered card  to  the  officer  in  charge,  the  paper 
signed  on  the  ship  is  handed  to  an  officer  stand- 
ing in  line,  and  he  is  ready  to  look  at  the  baggage. 
Open  it  freely,  and,  as  he  compares  the  signed 
paper  with  what  he  finds,  be  ready  to  help  him, 
and  explain  anything  he  asks  about. 

If,  by  chance,  there  should  be  something  not 
declared,  about  which  this  officer  does  not  feel 
quite  satisfied,  it  is  taken  to  a  chief  inspector, 
who  passes  upon  it. 

If  he  says  duties  should  be  paid,  remember  he 
is  a  government  official  and  in  authority.  He 
will  be  courteous  and  reasonable,  and  the  goods 
will  be  held  safely  till  they  can  be  sent  for,  if  it 
is  not  convenient  to  pay  the  duties  at  once. 

The  officers  are  in  a  trying  position.  They 
have  a  duty  to  perform,  and  must  carefully  watch 
for  due  returns  to  the  government.  A  cheerful 
recognition  of  this   will   make   their   duty  light. 

The  baggage  having  been  examined  and 
marked,  express  agents  are  at  hand  to  forward 
it  to  any  part  of  the  United  States,  or  carriages 
may  be  engaged  for  any  station  or  hotel.
